Different grunt tasks for watch and sass

I have a grunt project and I am using sass and jade together. I want to have a task for sass when developing where the style would be expanded for troubleshooting and a task for when I 'finish' the project and then the style would be compressed. I am new to grunt and don't know how to do it.

My gruntfile

module.exports = function(grunt) {
    grunt.initConfig({
        pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),

        jade: {
            compile: {
                options: {
                    pretty: true,
                    nospawn: false
                },

                files: {
                    'index.html' : 'src/index.jade'
                }
            }
        },

        sass: {
            dist: {
                options: {
                    style: 'expanded',
                    nospawn: false
                },

                files: {
                    'build/css/app.css' : 'src/sass/app.sass'
                }
            }
        },

        watch: {
            jade: {
                files: 'src/**/*.jade',
                tasks: ['jade']
            },

            css: {
                files: 'src/sass/**/*.sass',
                tasks: ['sass']
            },

            options: {
                livereload: true,
                nospawn: false
            }
        },

        connect: {
            server: {
                options: {
                    port: 9000,
                    base: '.',
                    hostname: '0.0.0.0',
                    protocol: 'http',
                    livereload: true,
                    open: true
                }
            }
        }
    });

    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jade');
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect');

    grunt.registerTask('default', ['connect', 'watch']);
};

To get compressed css instead of expanded, you would first need to make another sass-task (so within sass:{}), call it finish: for instance and change the compression setting.

It should look something like this:

finish: {
   options: {
            style: 'compressed',
            nospawn: false
           },

   files: {
            'build/css/app.css' : 'src/sass/app.sass'
           }
}

Then after grunt.registerTask('default', ['connect', 'watch']); you can add another task, ie finish that should like: grunt.registerTask('finish', ['sass:finish']);

To run it you would type grunt finish on the command line.
